How Demons Actually Work
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 сен 2020
- To clear up some misunderstandings regarding demonic activity, Fr. Mark-Mary offers a short crash course on the matter. There are four main kinds of demonic activity:
Temptation: when the devil subtly invites a soul to sin
Infestation: when there is demonic activity in a place
Oppression: when demonic activity starts outside the soul and enters within
Possession: when the demonic directly enters one’s internal will and intellect
This video does not go into detail about demonic activity, but simply aims to contextualize it, and show how the demonic confirms that the Catholic Faith is the true Faith.
Since an exorcist regularly visits his friary to confirm and strengthen the faith of the friars, Fr. Mark-Mary has witnessed demonic activity. He says it’s nothing to worry about if you just know who you are and who God is. If you live in that reality and remain in the state of grace, the demonic cannot have power over you.
Throughout the New Testament and the history of the Church, we see Christ and the saints fighting against the demonic. St. Therese, St. Padre Pio, and St. John Vianney encountered evil spirits quite a bit.
Acknowledging the reality of the demonic-and seeing how demons respond to the name of Jesus and Mary, to holy water and miraculous medals-can help our faith, but we can also become inordinately interested in it. So we can talk about demonic possession, but let’s not emphasize it.
After all, the devil’s most destructive work is done in the dark, through subtle temptations, through secret invitations to lust and the other deadly sins. Defeat these temptations by just saying no, and asking God to deliver you from temptation. Ask Mary and St. Michael the Archangel to help you, frequent the sacraments, trust in God’s grace, and demons will be powerless in your life.

I said no to "getting wasted" six years ago and by the Grace of God I've been sober since April 13, 2014.
One day at a time Homie! God Bless and Amen!
Need to do this
Praying for the conversion of my husband who is also an alcoholic... it is horrid. If possible please kindly keep him, C.B. in your prayers.🙏🏼😢
God bless you and all you do!
You've good willpower mate.
@@galadethlaernis6266 reduce his alcohol intake very slowly and he will slowly and subtly become less and less dependent.
Demons are no joke. I came out of new age and went through major, extreme demonic oppression / spiritual warfare. I attest that JESUS is the only way!
The way, the Truth, and the Life. Indeed.
Thank God almighty He freed you from that evil. I recommend you make a testimony video about it - could help others come to freedom in Christ. :)
what type of new age, Jess?
I'm going through the exact same thing ugh, these new age demons are reeeally wacky and stubborn... Today everyone are getting into them, it kinda became a trend and it scares me how many people are being controled by the devil... But we are always stronger, Im so thankful to Jesus that he took me out of this wacky situation ❣
Me too. I grew up catholic but this new age pulled me away. I noticed I was getting mad when anyone was talking about church. Those demons! I also had weird things happen like to tv turning on and weird sounds out of nowhere. That’s so demonic! I feel so horrible for allowing myself to go the new age route. Thank lord that I watched new age to Jesus videos.
@@poncho1710 so if I may ask--if you were a practicing Catholic, why then did you turn to new age spirituality? And if you were a non-practicing Catholic, why did you lapse in the first place? I’m not being judgmental, I’m just curious (I’m a practicing Cafeteria Catholic myself)
I am struggling with addiction right now and demons are trying to take over me. Please pray for me that I defeat this stupid addiction. I want to live again.
Praying for you.
Adonai will release you when you read His Word and accept Jesus Christ as your personal lord and savior. Stay in His word and leave those who circulate in the realm of demonic activity. Amen
This is a crazy story but... I come from a non-Catholic background. The first time I prayed the rosary was in response to a sense of being under attack by darkness. To my surprise, as soon as I began to pray the rosary I could *hear* the enemy scream in rage and torment. Oh they did NOT like that. I've been praying the rosary 3 times a day ever since.
beautiful story of the blessed virgin Mary's protection. may she lead you straight to Jesus❤ God bless!
I pray the chaplet of divine mercy every time I take a long walk. It gives me so much peace.
I am a former Catholic who went sola scriptura (devout Christian - definitely not Protestant), BUT am now returning home to the Catholic Church! I prayed the rosary for the first time a few days ago and it changed everything for the better. Prior to this, I became “born again” in 2020. Despite my unconditional love for Jesus, my daily prayers, repentant heart, fasting, denying self and picking up my cross etc., all of which are good things, I now understand why our Holy Mother is very important! Praise God for opening my eyes and humbling my prideful heart! 🙏🏼✝️🕊️
@@youtube-Name111, there’s no doubt the Devil has infiltrated the Catholic Church - even the Pope said so recently as have many leaders have in the past. This, too, is the case for Protestant churches who have their own issues (e.g., doctrine, scandal). The hate from many Protestants towards Catholics is deeply unfortunate and often spoken out of ignorance. Despite where I worship, my emphasis is always on Christ! Praise God! 🙏🏼✝️🕊️
@@jesusloveseveryone888 please tell me why holy mother is important
Pornography is more addicted than alcohol. Please pray for my recovery
Prayers (obvs) and a freezing cold shower every day - they're unpleasant but they help cut down your urges. God bless
It is very very difficult my brother. But through prayer fasting gods love and grace through faith in Jesus. You will make it. I promise.
The answer lies solely in this bro. You must do the rosary IN combination with mental prayer. 15-20 mins of rosary with 15 mins of mental prayer every day will get you extremely far. Try that out. Once you get there. The whole goal is to eventually do it 365 days a year.I had weeks where I did 3 days a week and I was free from it for a good time. But eventually I fell back into it. When I did it 6 or 7 days, it worked really well for ~ 2-3 months.
@powershel23 that’s fornication
I will pray for your recovery. These things aren't easy. But, I tend to think that whichever is "more addicting" depends on the individual. For example, I easily quit masturbation and pornography, which I had done most days since I hit puberty (by 5th grade; I believe I hit puberty a little early), quite easily. Yet, I have been drinking 2 or 3 years and I haven't been able to stop. I don't drink a lot at a time, but I do everyday, and I am having a very hard time stopping. I believe it depends on the individual, as I previously stated.

A Priest friend says 'When something comes into your mind (thoughts).... DON'T DWELL ON IT'.
Thanks, Fr. Mark Mary !!!!
God gave us free will over our thoughts it is you who is creating those thoughts spirits can’t control your mind
Thanks I will try not to

"Remain in a state of Grace and chill." My motto for life. 😂
Thats true
Lol that’s great
that's why in a lot of modern religions, there's always an emphasis of being at peace and calm. when you're calm, you dont give an opening for any posession.
The incubus has sex with its victims to possess them. It starts off as suspicious tingles on the legs - lovingly touching and seducing the victim. RESIST!! NEVER give in.

Pray for me to say no to gossip and cutting down others. Forgive me Jesus
Pray for wisdom & discernment, and eyes to see. Once I started doing that, I started seeing a bigger picture. I started noticing that when I’d be gossiping or fussing about someone else, something similar that I do or have done would immediately come to mind. Then it progressed to me having a broader understanding of what others might be going through. And I’d have moments when I’d be doing something that was frustrating to someone else and I’d hear this voice going, “See, this is what Jane Doe was going through when you were talking about her. You just didn’t know it.” Everybody wants mercy but few offer it. I try to remember that.
@@t.brooks5082 Thank you so much. I will practice your advice. So many times I have caught myself committing the same sins I fuss, gossip or make a quick judgment about in someone else. I am so sorry for hurting others. May God have Mercy on me.
Nikki you’re heart is so evidently humble😌
@@dawnmckinney3665 I was thinking the same thing, that was one of the most introspective prayer requests I've ever heard.
Replace the habit with complimenting others. It really makes you and them feel good inside.
Beautiful advice. An exorcist once said that people should be more terrified of temptation than possession because a possesed person cannot commit mortal sin as they have no free will. Falling into temptation however, can be our ruin. Be good and pray unceasingly. Love you all🙏🏾
Mike Cranston bro he literally just said it can’t make you commit a mortal sin your point makes no sense
@Mike Cranston You are trying to object to a spiritual comment with a secular law response?
Meaning if there is a moral sin committed, you are not responsible for it because you are not choosing to do it only being forced through possession or obsession. Such as suicide
In most cases a possessed person HAS committed mortal sin or is not in a state of Grace which is what facilitated the possession. You cannot become possessed if you are truly remaining in a state of Grace (there are extremely rare cases of saints and victim souls who did become possessed in obedience to God’s will to obtain great graces for the Church and poor souls).
Jesus was tempted and lead into temptation by the Holy Spirit....Giving in to temptation is the problem, even then we give Glory to God by repentance,.
As a “cradle catholic” I used to hear about the good angel and bad angel on our shoulders and didn’t think it was real. Fast forward to adulthood and growing in the faith in the last couple years, spiritual warfare is definitely real! Everyday I’m learning to put on the Armor of God, Ephesians 6:10-17, and definitely reading and learning about scripture, the word of God, to help me in this battle between good and evil! I need Jesus! Thank you for this video!
We are all connected in the mind as one. If you feel any trouble call on Archangel Michael three times like you were calling Beetlejuice and he will be there instantly.
Thank you 🙏
Ephesians 6:10-17

I've had demonic attacks before. As soon as I came home after confirmation classes, my ex immediately texted me and this happened straight after I got home from church, and my ex hasn't spoken to me for so long. When my ex texted me, he was suggesting we would do sexual acts. Whenever I'm serious about my faith, I experience spiritual warfare and unwanted thoughts, I get blasphemous, horrible thoughts that are unintentional and compulsive and I hate it so much. EVERY time I get closer to God and try to obey his word and turn from my sins, suddenly more guys are trying to get with me, and it ALWAYS happens when my faith is stronger. There is no doubt that demons are setting up a trap for me. I'm still struggling right now with demonic attacks, and temptation coming from demons.
Pray to Saint Michael for protection.
Same same same
The holy spirit will always be with you. Your gonna be ok. He lives within you, he's with us all the time. We are all connected.
Sounds like OCD
No hate. Just seems like a silly conclusion to draw that someone wants sex so they must be possessed by a demon.
One Christian (non-Catholic) female blogger/writer/speaker I follow is a former porn addict. I'm not a former porn addict, but I really enjoy her perspectives because I've found her principles extremely helpful in facing all sorts of sins, temptations and issues with your own self-image. She released a piece awhile ago about what to do when sexual or pornographic images are stuck in your head after you've repented and cut off the activity. First, she acknowledges to God that she doesn't want to dwell on this, she regrets it, and she never ever wants to do anything like it again. She also brought in the fact that regardless of spiritual influence-good or bad-your brain is a machine that adapts to the habits and decisions that you've made. It's a learned behavior, and a behavior is especially going to stick in your brain if it's associated with pleasure. Demons tempt you, but your brain is NOT a demon. God designed it, and it's designed to remember, facilitate and circulate whatever it's exposed to. Her approach to facing these memories or temptations when they arise is to remember these facts. The brain says "I need to feel good, so let's do ________________," and if the fill-in-the-blank is sinful, the response is "We could, but we'll go here (something good and/or holy) instead, because this will be better for us in the long run, and it will be what honors God." I found it the perfect balance between staying grounded and giving reverence to God. Thanks, Father Mark!
I’ve been struggling with this for ten years. I will put into practice what you’ve outlined here specifically, and what Father discussed generally. I really have no desire greater than glorify God but abandoning lust. Pray for me!! 🙏

Jamie O'Mahony Hi Jamie, praying the Rosary every day will help you. Start slow with one a day but eventually get to all 4 mysteries a day. Make this a commitment in your life and you will see absolutely great things and all the sinful temptations gone.
Blessings
@G.C Bolling what is the name of this blogger/speaker you are referring to?
@Mike Cranston You're right. Sex isnt intrinsically evil, but it can be used wrongly and for evil. Just like using drugs. Used in the way it was intended and for the right purpose, drugs can help you, but if abused they will damage you and can even kill you.
I use the Jesus prayer: Lord Jesus, have mercy on me a sinner. It is simple, direct , and can be easily repeated. I use it at night when my thoughts are wandering. Thank you.
Perfect
I always use that one at night too
I like using Psalms51 alot ...
Archangel Migel I have heard that but I don’t recall when I learned this prayer. I have been using it for decades. I believe that I once even used it while I was asleep and my dreams began heading to a dark place. Prayer is powerful. Prayer repeated over many years is stronger than steel.
The good thing is, you can pray it all day long, not only when you are in bed. I use a catholic prayer bead when I pray the Jesus prayer. It's said, it burns all demons, who try to approach you.
One never realizes how real demons truly are until he/she experiences possession. It's horrible.
@Rib_Guy_101 if you're doing something bad enough that you recognize it's a mortal sin and you have to ask the question of whether you should be worried, you might want to reflect on your behavior. I'm not judging you, I was a heroin addicted, athiest hedonist for 20 years.....so I couldn't judge you even if I wanted to. Only you know what's really going on. ❤️
@Rib_Guy_101 Possesion - you feel it in your body and it simulates mental illness, moves with your body etc. You can smell sulfur or unpleasant odours, you hear voices, see things (like shizophrenia).As it enters first, you feel pressure in your/going trought your organs and as you close your eyes, you can see this entity - it usually says something to you and than begins the battle. But the worst thing is it wants kill your soul....why it comes? Because of sin..I opened my chackra's, did yoga, believed some new age theories...see testimonies from new age to Jesus here in yt.
@Rib_Guy_101 What does it mean "agree"!? When it happened to me I did not know that opening chackra's is dangerous, I did not believed in God and I had no real concept between good and bad/evil or what is sin. One day the demon was next wall in my room. I was paralysed that I see this and felt the pure hate towards me. I was thinking that it will attack me and in this second it happened - do you mean this? That I was "weak" in my mind and I did not prayed or commanded it to leave in Jesus name? I did not know nothing about. At that time I was involved in joga, chackra's, horoscopes, tarot and numerology - and this is sinfull. So I thing that this practise (sin) means that you open yourself to it and the enemy begins messing with you. Before possesion I was oppressed (thoughts), possesion is more dangerous. I think that God allowed to happen to me and that je uses my sins to show me the truth because I identified myself as truthseeker (numerology number 7)...and he used everything I know to help me out. But the demon was out after months of prayers, I gained faith in Jesus thought reading bible = hearing the good news. God can change everything what happens to you for your own good.
I am not catholic...I confessed Jesus directly - it was recomended in a prayer. But you have to confess everything you did. I remember I was thinking I could not anymore and I was literally crying and asking for help as "if Jesus helped people in evangelium, he can help me too"...than I confessed once again and prayed together with a pastor (deliverance prayer on-line)...I would like to say it was in the beginning and I did not have a religious background. So, did you confess everything? Are you sincerelly sorry for everything you did? Do you have faith in Jesus? I think catholic have described way how to pray for forgivenes too.👍 So I would recommend to pray to our savior every day, humble yourself and every day ask for deliverance...sometimes it took time.
@@dagmarhoudkova8214 Actually, the religion is irrelevant. It's all about being saved. Praise God. God Bless.

I used to practice necromancy and was a medium for many years. I became physically possessed in the final week of my practice. The name of Jesus Jesus Christ arrested the wicked spirits and it was His name that closed the doors that I had opened. Demons are very real and Jesus saved me.

@@okamiartifex8813I don't know the answer, but I believe that mental illnesses may be due to satan attacking, although it can also be a chemical imbalance due to our defective bodies. However, I do have a lot of dreams and sleep paralysis of the devil attacking me. I recommend you go to a healing prayer at your church. I have been going and my mental illnesses are improving.

ManSon Rising Saint Michael works for Jesus. In fact, Christ often sends his Holy angels to carry out His work. And this is through His power. The church does not forbid us to pray directly to the Holy Archangels. All power still comes from God.
@ManSon Rising you dont know the whole prayer obviously.
@ManSon Rising stay away from our catholic channels .
ManSon Rising if you can’t ask angels for help then why does each one of us have a guardian angel? Do you assume they just stand around us watching our life go by not being able to help or protect us in any way? Or do you not believe in angels?
ManSon Rising “please show me in the Bible” thank you. I just won’t a bet you would say that ;)
I just wanna say I actually really appreciate the disclaimer at the beginning. The mind is more sensitive at certain times and we can just add to the confusion sometimes. Seen it happen, have experienced it. Cheers
For the first time in my life I have heard a paranormal voice loudly whisper my name in an attention grabbing way. I thought I was crazy but my coworker looked at me and said “did somebody just call your name?” We both got chills and got creeped out. I never believed this would ever happen to me.
Your comment caught my attention because I’m 35 and while alone at work earlier tonight I heard a very unsettling growl/snarl/sneezing all simultaneously and it sent chills
As Saint Michael for protection. Maybe buy a medal to wear..
I understand you, about a year ago I thought I heard my mom calling my name repeatedly while I was at Ross and when I called her to ask where she was she said she was still in the car with my dad. We can’t let any fear drive us, God is superior and our protector. I may go speak to a priest about it.

Believe me when I say that I was “possessed “ by The Enemy “ during my active drug addiction. Been clean now for six years; thank you, Jesus! Oh, possession is real, alright...just ask any drug addict or alcoholic.
I always believed that was true in many cases, and I can physically sense a person with a demon, even if it's not obvious to others. I pray the prayer to Saint Michael. I found that if you try to talk to an alcoholic or drug addict about this, or point out how evil their behavior is, they will deny being possessed. I tell them that the truth is being hidden from them and they need to order whatever evil is inside them to leave. They're weak. I know a man, a life long alcoholic and drug user, who is ill and not expected to live more than a few months. We're all trying to get him to confess his sins and accept Christ. He hints at it but won't say he will. Whatever has hold of him is stronger than he is. We pray for him.
That's oppression and or obsession like he mentioned others besides possession. Bc it's more like diabolical influence which is very real and I guess worse in a way bc it is not spiritually obvious like possession

Demons are the best actors, they pretend to be everything from ghosts, to aliens, and to spirits of aliens and spirits of ascended masters.
@ManSon Rising Having watched all UFO documentaries and all interviews of former occultists, such as Roger Morneau in his interview "a trip into the supernatural".
Watch it.
There are actually peoples ghosts, it says that the dead from the graves will first be raptured, soo there are ghosts in places but devils can manipulate thats why u dont speak to familiar spirits coz they are probably evil in disquise.
I agree with you all the way 100%. I’m very sure that the UFO Phenomenon will play a huge roll in THE GREAT DECEPTION In the End Times.

@ManSon Rising The scripure says that Satan will deceive the entire world and that his government "the beast" will eventually have total control over planet earth, and that they will use a RFID microchip (mark of the beast) to control all idendity and money.
It also specifically says that the human race is in a struggle but not against flesh and blood, but againts SPIRITUAL wickedness in high places (demonic entities controlling the elite of planet earth).
Confession is huge for the protection against the demonic...when I start having a lot of anxiety, it's probably time for a good confession.
great advice
That’s so true!!
Some one in my family spoke some words to me that I felt against myself and it really made me feel depressed for someone to say something I was feeling about myself.
Then I got so depressed but got so sick of it and had to confess it and suddenly I was inspired to start using my creativity that I’ve been not using. Started painting again and for some crazy reason I couldn’t get myself to sttart until that day of confessing .
This video is everything thank you 🙏! You are so spot on with everything you said . God will always have our back , as long as we keep him in us. ❤️
Praying for my boyfriend battling demons right now.
@Psych Truth Yes both partaking Sanctifying Holiness through, with, and in Jesus Being The Truth = True God From True GOD Our ABBA Almighty FATHER
In jesus name the demons with boyfriend are already gone and both of you are serving HIM better.
Those demons, that your boyfriend has in some way permitted to possess himself,
they are after you, it's their number 1 mission currently.
they have already succeeded in possessing him and aren't wasting any mire effort in that direction
even if you do what you ought to, separate yourself entirely ( momentarily or indefinitely) the demons will simply 'follow' and take hold of another 'easy mark' that is in your company.
How does this stop?
First realize that it never stops, demons are ever present everywhere - imagine a large school of fish and we all are just standing in the middle of it.
they simply are doing what they do until an opportunity allows them to enter.
That is what must stop,
you must stop
providing these opportunities.
i understand that by now your thinking
'but i'm not doing that, i'm a good person etc '
i have no doubt in that, but that isn't what prevents this
if you are allowing your emotions of despair, vengeance, rage, sadness, hopelessness to control your actions and tongue - your are allowing the demons attentions.
we all feel these things, don't let those feelings then generate those emotions ( these two aren't the same thing )
feelings & thoughts we can't control those
emotions & actions those we can
and are responsible for
Your boyfriend? Wow. Great idea.
@Meu Deus é Fiel I don't think I was being sarcastic. I'm just hard to understand.

I like how he said, "I was a priest already, so I was throwing some blessings..." 😎👍
He is not special because he's a priest, I see you all are Catholics and not Christian(from my understanding) well being a Christian means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, a slave. But it's also a royal priesthood so as a disciple one is already a priest and able and allowed to babtize and so on.
Amen Father! I’m having a really difficult time with my family (Mother, sister etc) - my father took his life in 2014 and things continue to spiral with my family so much that it has driven me just deeper into prayer, deeper into church - the only true family I have is God, Jesus, Mother Mary, and the Holy Spirit. If I try talking with them - like you described attacks happen, voices change - it’s so hard. I’m an extremely sensitive person (unfortunately) so I can easily see and feel and hear and even smell these things. God Bless you. Thank you for the information 🕊🙏🏼
I'm really sorry about your dad. Maybe you are going through spiritual attack and they try to affect your family relationships. So pray, pray, pray. And in your intentions pray for the union and love of your family. Have some holy water, and exorcised salt and oil and bless your home and yourself. May God give you and your family His peace.
Prayers to you to be unburdened of this pain
In Jesus's Holy name may you be protected by Saint Michael and be filled with the Holy spirit Amen
GOD BLESSED YOU SO MUCH WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAITH .Your father is so blessed to have a your prayers .OUR BEAUTIFUL MOTHER MARY IS SO PROUD OF YOU.When ever i get unsure about my family i give them to My Mother Mary .So grab your beads and pray pray for them GOD GOD MOTHER MARY ANGELS AND SAINTS BLESS BLESS YOU.Well done.
If you want to remove sensitivity:
Pls ask the help of catholic church.
I used to be sensitive, it was inherited. (uncontrolably seeing future, seeing bad spirit in form of black smoke)
I undergone closing of occult 3rd eye, prayed over by a catholic deliverance priest. He is not an exorcist.
The session we had is called minor deliverance session in 2015. From then own, I am not sensitive anymore to spiritual realm.
Preparations before session:
-if you can, daily mass
-confessions every 2 weeks
- pray rosary daily
- forgive people, be generous (give food to strangers)
- remove occult beliefs ( horoscope), concept of luck ( lucky colors etc)
- remove all occult stuff ( tarot cards, crystals)
- frequent adoration chapel visit
May God lead your steps to be protected from the evil one by closing those openings. God bless you sibling in Christ
So needed to hear this! I have to battle a demon everyday attacking me - into the gossip and falling into the traps of giving into the negative personal attacks on me by “cutting down another”. Thank you so much for this! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for doing this in such a sober manner Fr. Mark-Mary, especially for the disclaimer at the beginning.
This is one of the most useful and helpful Catholic videos I have came across. Temptation gets us all, Thank you for posting Fr. 🙏
Simple, informative and concise. All we need to know about bad spirits. We are God’s children and we are safe with our Dad. Thank you for your common sense catholic approach.
Please pray for a young girl going through a rough time 😔
Ask our blessed mother to pray to her son for help,she is the best ally we the Christians have,specially on difficult times.
Thank you for this, Father. I'm from Indonesia and the culture here is very familiar with demons. They're very real, and I'm glad this reminds me to always put my feet firm to the Lord. Sometimes I get too anxious and have my faith swayed, so thank you for reassuring me.
Father is only One. He is in heaven.
I love listening to you Fr Mark. You are so loving and calming when you speak thank you for this message🙏🏼
Well said Fr. Mark. May God shower you and your religious community with His most choice Blessings.
Lets say no to anger. Amen.
Thank you for advising those who can’t watch horror movies to skip this episode. I really appreciate you doing that!
Dad's Biiiiiig... And Dad's Divine. Enough said! Thank you father 😊
Amen Father! Thank you for reminding us to live in our faith.
My family members are like possessed I think. Every time I pray, read Bible, or annoint my home with oil, they start harassing me (accusing, bothering, name-calling, calling me bad words, shouting etc.)…I hope I can get through this. I don’t have anywhere else to live and homelessness where I live is dangerous. Really sick of their hatred towards the things of God I’m trying to engage or grow in. They say they are “Christians”, but what they are doing to me is far from it 😂😭😔
Praying for you
I will pray for you. Jesus Christ will help you. If you need anything, I am currently going on the journey on how to rid demonic activity from my home. I’m not an expert at all by any means, but I’m here. We all are. You got this, Jesus has conquered it!
Subtle is the word. And such has been my life currently dealing with the devil. Thank you, sir.
Great, great video 👏🏼 I started watching it last week... but I really needed to hear it THIS week! I went to confession on Tuesday and Father basically said, “just be my daughter”. The reoccurring message for me this week... is “know who you are” = just be. When life beats you up so bad, you’re left so scarred it’s hard to know your value and worth. If I can know my worth, I think it will make loving others easier. Anyyyway. Good talk, good talk. 😎 I’m going to make a plaque that says “ Live in GRACE and Chill!” 🙏🏼🥰
Thank you after I needed this, those who get triggered easily need this. I’ll be praying for you father and everyone at ascension, im truly grateful 🙏🏼
Thank You Father. You explanation was spot on. When I knew the demonic had a strong hold on me, I prayed The Psalms and accepted The Christ. Afterwards I fell asleep and felt something leave me in a dream and woke myself up screaming in terror but I knew that I had prayed the demon away. I tell friends now to pray those Psalms when I believe the demonic has a hold on them. The battle is very real just like you said. Thanks again.
Mike what are those Psalms? I am under high level spiritual attack from them right now. It even seems to be inside the body. It's a daily battle sometimes couple times per day. I pray decades of the Rosary as only thing that gives a brief reprieve. I believe the Eucharist although it causes me nausea or physical discomfort to receive due to the spiritual attacks also gives me strength from God and a little peace. I seem to have opened portals so been recommended home blessing but think might take something stronger than that from specialist priest to break free. But I also know I need to find out God's will as Fr Ripperger says that God has authority over all spirits and it can't happen to us unless he gives it permissive will. Perhaps it's to test and purify us? But only priests have power given to them by God to deliver us from these evil spirits as Fr Ripperger exorcist priest says.
❤️🌟 May the love of the *Father* the tenderness of the *Son* , and the presence of the *Spirit* , gladden the hearts and bring peace to the souls of *you and all watching this* , this day and all days, Amen. 🌟❤️
Your god can't protect you. Only though strength, and worship of the Honorable, Khorne, God of Bloodshed, teacher of the Martial, The Seated on the Skull Throne, can one be strong. Blood for the Blood God, skulls for the Skull Throne
@@christopherreichle6670 hang on... You're concerning me. Are you implying murder for these idols?

Holy mackerel! This was an amazing video! Father, when you said you grabbed your Rosary and started praying during the exorcism your fellow priest was performing, I had visions of a soldier grabbing his weapon and running toward a battle his comrades were engaged in-just like you grabbed your weapon-the mighty Rosary!
It also made me so thankful that there are holy men like you that have given yourselves to the service of Christ for the salvation of souls. The importance of that simply cannot be overstated.
So far every time I watch a Fr. Mark video I come out better.
Thanks bro ! Was down and out but your speech make me get up and battle these evil entities
Man, I am so glad to find this down to earth guy talking about very NOT down to earth topics. I really needed the reminder after a pretty strict upbringing that clergy are normal people, going thru all this abnormal life stuff like everyone else.
Thanks for the "disclaimer" warning those of us who get freaked out about stuff like this. I was going to watch it, but close to bedtime so it would have kept me awake all night I'm sure.
Me too lol
Yes, me too!!!!
Are you scared of the monster in your closet or under the bed as well?
Focus: GOD = Eternal Greatest GOOD
I'm watching this before bedtime. Doesn't bother or scare me...try praying the rosary to ease discomfort or fear.
@Fr Mark Mary God bless you in your ministry. You're an inspiration.
Thank you brother Mark Mary. You get right to the point take away the fear snd keep our eyes wide open that we are temples of the Lord and we must say no to Temptations. Thank you and you are right. Satan knows our weaknesses very well with God’s grace we can learn to say NO!
''...and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil...'' As a Christian, each day I pray God to help me and others to stay away from temptations. I really love all your videos!
Usually, you can just go to church and pray about it, but at home is different.
Satan's biggest lie is that he doesn't exist
Well satan is the hate within you. Otherwise physically, no he doesn't
@@creativeyoutubeaccountname1813 youre both wrong.
One quotes a hollywood movie, the next one is not even a believer.
@@creativeyoutubeaccountname1813 if you think Satan is only involved in hate then you have a lot to learn. Ive seen Satan involved in the peaceful people at times.
@@creativeyoutubeaccountname1813 that is simply not true. Many people have seen the vision of god and satan himself many times. Its on youtube search it. You cannot say something does not exist simply because you have not seen it. That is dishonest.
You have no idea how many people don’t believe in satan. It is astonishing.
Fr Mark, what you spoke of about speaking ill of others. Hit a chord with me. Definitely the devil trying to fill me with his pride. Following him will only lead to torment & darkness. Need to get right with Jesus & follow Christ. I remember this one Bible passage : "I am the way. The truth. & the light. No one cometh unto the Father but by me." I may not be saying that exactly right. But we need to follow Christ. & turn away from the devil's temptations.
Love your point that ' We have God" He has us. Ive encountered a demon while reading my bible once. I could not see him but I felt his evil presence. I have never before felt so scared but I will tell you one thing as soon as I started to say out loud 'The blood of Jesus and that Jesus was my Lord" That evil presence left my room. God would never allow a child of God to be touch by any of that. He protects us through the blood he shed for us on the cross. Thank you Holy Father.
Thanks this confirmed alot about what I've been going thru. It's true when I was near total possession anytime I heard Mother Mary's songs or words or her image I would feel sudden rage and feel like cussing at her.
I've been waiting to watch this but felt stronger now. I messed around with this whole new age movement (tarots, crystals, calling God the universe) and I think that's what provoked this. They said it calling in ur "spirit guides" ...now I know they're not "spirit guides."
Lessons learned. But this validated what I went thru.
" There's nothing that will be presented that will keep you from Salvation."
Brilliant summation, sir. Too many of us feel obligated to understand the adversary in order to operate effectively. This is certainly not true, for the most part. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of this presentation, but I wanted to applaud your candor right up front.
Blessings to you and all you cherish.
Many thanks 🙏.
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it
1 corinth 10"13
We were once very privileged to receive the Relics of St Therese of Lisieux into our Parish. My son was very young, about 6 years old. He went to a Catholic school and this Parish was on the premises. We stopped in on the way to school to say a quick prayer and I was telling him about this Saint. Someone called him up onto the Altar, gave him a rose which had been placed on the Relics and told him to give it to me and tell me that St Therese will bless me. I had never met this person before. I placed this rose on the front seat of my car where it remained all day. When leaving work I was reversing out of the driveway and saw a black shadow standing at the corner of the office block, when my car came near, it showed fear and fled. It was a spirit shadow, not in the form of a person. I felt it’s fear, yet my peace and a confidence, if you will, at the same time. I had this knowing in my mind that it fled because of the rose. I had no experience with demons before. I was not educated in their workings or what they could do to you, other than the small amount we are exposed to in the general practices of our Faith, but when this happened, I just knew what it was, what I saw and what had just happened. I worked for a Jewish lawyer at that time and I know his mother, who visited the office frequently, used to call on a fortune teller. I thought I would share this story for interest sake. Even when we are unaware, things may happen to us but look how our Lord blessed me and I am merely an ordinary Catholic, not a nun or anything like that. I encourage everyone to put on the Armour of God every day. Ephesians 6:11-17.
im glad i watched this, in my anger and hate ive said yes to all those you said say no too, ive slowely tried to change since 2020, but its hard and there are days where i fail, but i will try every day. Thank you.
Temptation to gluttony - thank you, that's very helpful for me. I shall start thinking of my crisps and TV habit in that light. It makes it seem much more serious, more like something I need to avoid.
The Demon is like a gorgon, they attract attention to themselves to detract you from God. You got shaken, and you lose sight from reality.
The remedy is to Focus on the light. And to readjust whenever we are detracted.
Their end game is to make the oppressed and the possessed to commit suicide in a mortal sin by inciting blasphemy beforehand.
Discouragement and despair is insidious.
So let us support our brothers and sisters, when there is despair let us bring hope.
Thank you for mentioning this! You posted at the perfect time.
Thats why when you see people using the bibe to oppress or bully, its necessary to stop it, because the bible can easily be used to work alongside with the Devil and cause other people to detract from Gods love.
I needed that
Thanks
my life in a nutshell: ambitious start, high rise, deep fall, hard landing and I'm still down.
Father thank you so much for the great message. I teared up as well when you teared up near the end of the video.
Thank you Father Mark Mary. Just 👍 great. I will always pray the Lords Pray in meditation in expectation that more than use I can live in a state of GODS Grace.
I love this priest. He is smart, agile, & a great person, 😉😊🤩🤩🤩💜. & may the lord bless & keep him warm 🙏❤😊.
This is such a great topic to know as Catholics that isn’t talked about as much. My husband and I were just talking the other day that how come there are so many movies of the devil and the demonic & they are so popular but not so many movies of God and his great doings
They feel like it’s not noteworthy, but one could write a great story about a near death experience
Jennifer Gallardo The reason that Hollywood does so many satanic, vampire, zombie, A.I. movies is because Hollywood is the seat of Lucifer/Satan/Baphomet. Hollywood is an extension of the CIA's MK-Ultra program (i.e. they use movies to control the minds of the public; the world). Research the word 'star' (as in fallen angels - when Lucifer and his angels fell to earth - falling stars/stars on the Hollywood walk of fame. The only way anyone gets a good part and fame including in the music business, they have to 'join the 'cult of Satan'. Check out Tamara Magadalene Lioness of Yeshua (warning! she lays it all out in very explicit detail - her research is tremendous).
There is a lot of Christian Movies but the Mainstream and Hollywood hate it.... Why just bcos Hollywood Base on Satan.
And how come many of the people that go to these movies don't even believe demons exist? Many would laugh if you referred to demons as real. The movie industry has made demons so Hollywood that it becomes a way to make demonic possession unbelievable or unimaginable. This is also the works of Satan's biggest lie as mentioned earlier in the post. .
......
This was a good, good word bro! And I’m not a Catholic. But I am born again and love Jesus with all I have. Thank you again! So good!
Same. God bless 🙏💕
This is timeless, can just see Jesus' disciples having similar discussions
"There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them." C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
Thank you Father for reinforcing that. Your words and ministry are comforting.
I went through most of my life without any exposure to the supernatural (other than God), and then a couple of years ago I moved into a building that was demon haunted. I am ashamed to say that I freaked out. Of course immediately I turned to God and prayed, but I was scared. And it was not just me. I was hearing very very disturbing things but other people in the same building were SEEING things. I always asked God to protect me from seeing anything, and I never did. But whatever was there decided to mess with me, and finally I went to my pastor and he calmly reminded me that this was nothing new, that Jesus encountered and expelled demons all the time, and that I could do the same using His name. That's what I did, and the demons fled. Later I learned that decades ago, there was a group of tenants who had a seance and conjured up a demon and ever since people have been witnessing all kinds of evil in that place. Even though the attacks ended for me, they did not for others, and I'm not going to lie: I was happy to leave that place. Just remember that Jesus' name is literally a weapon. You can use it to defend yourself.
@Robert Paulson Definitely I do. I used to have those as a teenager and they felt demonic, but I never saw or heard anything, just that terrifying paralysis. My doctor told me it was some kind of brain misfire, some sort of weird state between dreaming and consciousness but... I never really believed it. But I didn't go to medical school. What happened in that place though was DEFINITELY evil and monstrous and terrifying. What was funny was nobody wanted to be the first to bring it up because they--and I--didn't want to seem crazy. There is a book waiting to be written, but I'm not ready yet.
@Robert Paulson I spoke to a couple of teenagers in that place, and they both described seeing shadow people. And none of the many children would ever go anywhere alone. They always had to be in packs of at least 3 or they would freak out.
We had the same thing happen. Moved into a nice apt. Than one night the bedroom was black on black you could see a black cloud sooo black you couldn’t miss it. There was also a presence of evil! You could feel it!!
My parents came over and the four of us who are all born again believers prayed over this room, but I just didn’t feel like it had left. We went to bed that night and I was asleep, all of a sudden my husband jumped up in bed and I said what’s wrong? He hadn’t been asleep so he wasn’t dreaming, he looked terrified as he stared at the closet door beside him. He said I was laying here and all of a sudden I saw this glowing hand coming out of the closet moving towards our bed. I was too scared to look, but it scared the life out of him and me when he told me. Then it disappeared and never returned that we saw. Eventually the black cloud hanging near the ceiling coming down to the middle of the room disappeared too. That was definitely a demonic force. It was so scarey and it scared us real bad. To this day I keep my closet door closed.
I promise you on my dear grandmothers grave this is not a lie or a dream or an exaggeration it really happened!! We moved out of there as quickly as we could. 😳
How do I use Jesus name?
Your story gives me hope. Its similar to what is happening to me now but I feel embarrassed because people can make you think you're crazy. I have been to see the doctor as well and ended up with medication which I know is not the solution but didn't want it to look like I am refusing help. I know there's something in this house.
I love this channel, I used to be an open to all liberal with really no direction in life. I would go all directions because I was pro everything. Luckily this channel found me and made me realize how wrong and dangerous that lifestyle was. Now I have a direction , I have my questions answered and it feels so right. Who knew.
I have really enjoyed watching this video a number of times. Thank you!
I wasn't expecting that. You've just helped me more than you will know
Wow!! Thank you for the practical advise. So encouraging say no to temptations little by little Amen
Thank you, you keeping me strong in the face or sin. Faith as a MFT, in the subtitle temptation of brief gratification, to stay strong in the face if temptation is a gift from God. That cannot be overlooked. Praise be to God, and his son Jesus Christ!!
So very grateful to have found this incredible channel.
People who are afraid of this message due to sensitivity are the ones that need it the most.
Your very right. I am forced to engage in spiritual warfare against the demons. I can just feel when they are attacking, or putting a scenario together to trigger me, and I despise it. So I pray to God to send heavenly angels to battle them, or for Him to give me the strength to battle them, or for God Himself to intervene and bury them. Believe me, demons are abhorrent
Yes they are. I am set up by them frequently. I can always tell. They use their own people against you and it only seems to last for part of a day but can really be rough. Prayer is the only hope. Many people do not realize that they are pawns to act out in a malicous manner toward a child of God. They exhibit hate that they do not know comes from the demonic side. I really feel pity for these lost souls being used as vessels of hate for satans work. They do not even know where their feelings of hate even spring from.

Alcohol and drugs open doors that should stay firmly shut. Thank you Father Mark Mary for addressing this so eloquently.
Thanks Father Mark Mary for that encouragement 🙏🏼
Demons also act when we sleep coz we r quite vulnerable then... Helps to anoint ourselves with the blood of Jesus before we sleep..
@Mike Cranston I don't remember mentioning bad dreams or nightmares anywhere... A little bit of reading would have told you about 'terrors of the night', why people experience fear, demonic attacks at night, or sleep paralysis which has been associated with demonic activity.. demons may also mk suggestions while a person is asleep, similar to principles applied in hypnosis... The scope of this discussion is vast and requires another forum and of course, well read and well researched material.. and anointing ourselves with the precious blood of our Lord is good all the time..
@@rozitas5022 I thought 'sleep paralysis' is a natural phenomenon for those suffering from it, and not considered an indicator of anything demonic by trained clergy.
And pray to your Guardian Angel and Saint Michael.
